    QUICK FACTS ABOUT BEARS
    There are around 180,000 to 200,000 brown bears worldwide. Most of them live in Alaska, Canada and Russia where the brown bear can still roam vast areas almost unpopulated by human beings and covered in forests.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    The brown bear can reach a weight of between 150 and 370 kilogrammes depending on age, sex and season.
    – LBC’s – 20 IC
    Despite their weight, the animals can cover short distances at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    Brown bears are generally loners who will only seek a mate for short periods.

    In the wild, these omnivores spend up to 16 hours a day looking for food, which is reflected in the saying ‘hungry as a bear’.
    – Freddie Mercury’s – 20 IC

    Time to play an actual game of Baseball! Using a soccer ball because we didn’t have gloves. We played a pickup game where the rules were, at every at bat, if the field dropped the ball, then 5 burpees. If not, then 10 squats. It was a lot of fun and we had some good plays, it was great to see the teamwork, esp. when someone was thrown out at base!

  • – from Dry Socket

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a workout session at Misty Mountain, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The atmosphere, the trainers, and the overall workout experience left me feeling invigorated and motivated to continue on my fitness journey.
    Title: Dynamic and Engaging Workout Experience at Misty Mountain

    Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

    I recently joined a workout session at Misty Mountain with a group of 12 participants, and I was thoroughly impressed with the energy and effectiveness of the workout. From the warm-up exercises to the challenging routines, Misty Mountain provided a dynamic and engaging fitness experience.

    The session began with a series of warm-up exercises that set the tone for the workout ahead. We started with side and straddle hops, which got our heart rates up and warmed up our lower body muscles. The arm circles and overhead claps engaged our upper body, preparing us for the upcoming workout. The inclusion of seal claps added a fun and interactive element to the warm-up, creating a positive and enthusiastic atmosphere.

    We started our adventure by running towards Wolfpack Mountain, and the Indian runs along the way added an element of teamwork and camaraderie. The scenic route provided a refreshing backdrop for our run, keeping us motivated as we made our way to the top.

    Once we reached the summit, we delved into a Dora 123 workout that tested our strength and endurance. The combination of 50 lunges, 100 imperial walkers, and 150 Merkins pushed us to our limits, encouraging us to dig deep and push through any fatigue. The trainers’ guidance and encouragement ensured that we maintained proper form and technique throughout the challenging exercises.

    At the top of the mountain, we engaged in a series of core exercises, further targeting our abdominal muscles and strengthening our core. This segment added a dynamic twist to the workout, allowing us to focus on building stability and balance while enjoying the panoramic views from our elevated vantage point.

    The journey continued as we ran back towards the flag, where a series of bench exercises awaited us. Step-ups, power-ups, and dips provided an intense upper body and lower body workout, engaging multiple muscle groups and improving overall strength. The variety of exercises kept the workout exciting and prevented any monotony from setting in.

    After the intense workout, the group rewarded ourselves with a well-deserved treat from La Boulangerie, which served as a delicious post-workout reward. It was a great opportunity to refuel and recharge our bodies before heading to Brown Bags for a dBrief. This time together allowed us to reflect on the workout, share our experiences, and bond as a community.

    In conclusion, my experience at Misty Mountain was nothing short of fantastic. The warm-up exercises, including side and straddle hops, arm circles, overhead claps, and seal claps, effectively prepared us for the workout. The trainers’ guidance, personalized attention, and inclusive approach made the session challenging yet enjoyable. The sense of community and support among the participants added an extra layer of motivation. I highly recommend Misty Mountain to anyone seeking a dynamic, engaging, and results-driven workout.

  • Monkey Humper Drive By – from Willie

    After the required disclaimer, and in the spirit of Run Cajun Run, the PAX went off campus this morning with a mosey on the neutral ground down St. Charles Ave. We stopped for warm up exercises at the State St. and Jefferson Ave. Exercises were in cadence:

    Grass Grabbers x10, Hillbillies x20, LS Squats x10, Imperial Walkers x20

    King Kong and Gabby asked if we were going to do Monkey Humpers in front of Whopper’s house. That was not my intent when we set out, but it was such a great idea, I had to pivot. We immediately went to Whopper’s house and did 10 MH in cadence.

    We did not stop there…. Next on the monkey humper hit list was Blowout, followed by Couch. The PAX performed 10 monkey humpers all in cadence at both locations. Subprime was particularly loud in his cadence count. After hitting Couch with humpers, we mosyed back to the flag. We logged right at 4.0 miles for RCR.

    El Wire was lucky, he was next on our hit list, but we ran out of time. Let this be a warning to all Uptown PAX, especially El Wire, Reluctant Yankee, Tubesteak, Mariah, Angies List, Seaman, Tinkles, Moana, any of you could be our next victim, if you are not working out at Misty Mountain.

    We closed with a COT and breakfast ensued at Panola Cafe. It’s always an honor to lead this great group of men!

  • Total Wellness Begins Tomorrow – from Willie

    After a week long sales meeting in San Diego, what better way to get back into total wellness than to Q Misty Mountain.

    Warm up took place in front of Loyola, all exercises in cadence: SSHx 20, Imperial Walkers x 20, Hillbillies x20, Arm Circles F/B x10, Grass Grabbers x10, Burpees x10

    We mosyed to the 2nd floor of the Big Mountain, and partnered up for some DORA 123. Exercises were 100 Merkins, 200 Freddie Merks (2-1), 300 Squats. The partner ran up to level 3and back around and down the stairs to his partner. Once complete, we went up the stair well to the top of the mountain.

    We worked our way back down the mountain doing BLIMPS on each level. B on level 7, L on level 6 and so on…

    We finished up with a set of Mary in front of Tulane University, COT, and coffeteria at Panola Cafe.
